Recipe Story

I’m not Italian, but I love pasta! Cheese Ravioli with Pumpkin Sauce is one of my favorites for a quick lunch or dinner. I had something similar at a restaurant in L.A. and I was so smitten, I came home and tried to re-create it from taste memory. This is what I came up with.

Ingredients

 
1 tablespoon good olive oil
 
1/3 cup green onions, sliced
 
2 cloves garlic, minced
 
1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds
 
1 cup evaporated skim milk
 
1 tablespoon flour
 
Kosher salt & freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
 
1/2 cup pumpkin puree, canned
 
Kosher salt, for the pasta water
 
2 (9 ounce) packages fresh cheese ravioli
 
Freshly grated Parmesan, for garnish

Directions

Put a large pot of water on to boil. Add the olive oil, green onions, garlic, and the fennel seeds to a medium sauté pan. Sauté until the onions are tender and the fennel seeds are fragrant, about 3 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl whisk together the evaporated skim milk, flour, and the salt and pepper. Pour into the pan, add the pumpkin and stir until smooth. Reduce heat and simmer gently while preparing the ravioli.

Generously salt the water when it comes to the boil and cook the ravioli according to the package directions. Fresh pasta cooks in about 2 minutes, so whatever you do, don’t abandon it. Drain the pasta and generously spoon the sauce over it. Embellish with plenty of grated Parmesan.

Kabocha (small Japanese pumpkins) have so much flavour and are perfect for this so you don't have gobs of extra pumpkin. Love pumpkin filled raviolis also.

One of my {newest} favorites! The best veg tempura, ever! :) "The craft of questions, the craft of stories, the craft of the hands - all these are the making of something, and that something is soul. Anytime we feed soul, it guarantees increase." -- Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Ph.D.
